A symphony, the manuscript of which was declared in 2001 part of UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, alongside such items as James Cook’s ship’s log for 1768–71 and the 180,000-piece papyrus collection in the Austrian National Library; and an opera overture, which in the last 100 years has frequently been performed as an intermezzo of the second act of the work, and which according to Bence Szabolcsi, “portrays and relays the message of the opera more perfectly than the opera itself ...”: both of these hugely significant works go far beyond themselves, having impacted musical thinking for 200 years; and both works quite perfectly fit the end of a cycle dedicated to the music of Beethoven.
